Safeguarding Training for Hosts

The British Council/Accreditation UK provides a short, free training course about Safeguarding for host families. If you already host, or are planning to host students under the age of 18 then please participate in the training. We must receive the certiicate of completion before any under 18 students will be placed with you. Although not a requirement, we strongly recommend this training for those hosting over 18 students as well.

The training provides a comprehensive introduction to safeguarding, and what do do if you have concerns, or find yourself in a situation where a child makes a difficult disclosure to you.

The training takes about 25-45 minutes to complete:
